It's a Permit to Fly Aircraft

The P to F rules will probably need revision then? Don't really see how this fits in unless owners are prepared to do a bunch of work for it to qualify as amateur built.

Pretty sure if it's not amateur built it will need a full TC and C of A. Amateur built normally means more than 51% by the owner/builder.

P to F is to cover aircraft that cannot have a full Airworthiness Certificate for various reasons and I am thinking the aircraft in question may not fit the bill.

Things may change of course!
